Tom has connected to the Management Server remotely using SmartConsole and is in the process...

Tom’s changes will have been stored on the Management when he reconnects and he will not lose any of his work. This is because SmartConsole uses a session mechanism that allows users to work offline and save their changes locally until they are ready to publish them to the Management13. If Tom loses connectivity, he can resume his session when he reconnects and continue working on his Rule Base changes. He does not need to reboot his SmartConsole computer, clear the cache, or restore changes. His changes will not be lost since he lost connectivity.
